All Saints Church, Isleworth

The Grade II* listing was made on 15 June 1951 as list entry 1358287. The parish is pre-Norman, and a vicar replacing its rector is recorded in 1290 in documents associated with Syon Abbey. Sir Christopher Wren was approached at the end of the seventeenth century to design a new body for the dilapidated church; his scheme was thought too expensive until Sir Orlando Gee left £500 towards the work in 1705, and a modified rebuilding followed in 1705-06. In 1943 two boys set fire to the church — days later they burned Holy Trinity, Hounslow — and the interior was destroyed. Michael Blee built the present inner body in 1970, with glass by Keith New, retaining the fourteenth-century Kentish ragstone tower, and it won a Civic Trust Award in 1973. The tower and the foundations are the fabric that survives from before the twentieth century. Syon Lane station is 1,267 m away and Isleworth station 1,310 m, both on South Western Railway; there is no Underground station within 1.4 km.
